A random assortment of memories

I think this photo speaks for itself


We stripped his clothing immediately following dinner and carried him to the bath. Thank goodness for the wood floors we would have some very stained carpet otherwise.

Tuesday Mason, me and the dogs hit the outdoors all morning before this happened later that day.....

We got about 14-inches...after Matt dug us out the next morning we headed to GG Bert and GG Larry's to help them shovel out and spend some time. March is one of our snowiest months.

Mason could get away with just about anything in their house and he knows it.

On Friday we had a play date with one of my dear friends from college and her son Jack. Right before this photo Mason was hugging Jack, it was to cute. We have been really working on being gentle with people and animals...not hitting, head-butting or kicking just giving hugs and kisses. We are not always successful but it was this day, yeah Mason!

Mason ran the entire 2 hours we were at the Golden Community Center, I guess it tired Jack out. Just wait Ruthie, this is looming in your future.It was nice to catch up with an old friend, Ruthie has a heart of gold amd I wish she lived closer.

That daddy really has to figure this out...why Matt thinks these things are so funny is beyond me:)

Bless your little Irish heart...

March is a fickle month in Colorado but as of late we have enjoyed mild temperatures and a toddler who has begun a love affair with the outdoors.

Mason's Uncle Chris , Aunt T. and his three cousins handed down some outdoor toys during their recent move. We can not thank them enough for these great energy burners.

Looking sharp in his car! His hair looks like it is blowing in the wind but really he just has some crazy hair.


Quite the personality this little guy has.

He is counting to three and does so frequently before heading down the slide....next we will teach him complex fractions...just kidding.

The beginning of a multi-tasker....I am so proud!

We have started the repetition phase, some times we read those books (Hungry Caterpillar, Cookie Monster, and Big Bird) one hundred times a day. I don't even have to look at the pages anymore!

Matt does....

He is also becoming quite particular about putting his shoes on whenever he is awake. He is quite fond of his Nikes. I think he likes them because they make him just tall enough to climb on things he shouldn't be. We caught him on the kitchen counter the other night when we had turned our back for no less than 5-seconds.

We celebrated our Irish heritage with Angela, Jason, Nick and Angie by grilling out on our deck. We are so glad to have Nick and Ang. back on Colorado soil.

The lucky day brought.....

70-degree weather.

A really bright green shirt worn by Jason.

Our handsome Irish boy. I know my grandma June was smiling down on us, man do I miss her!

A beautiful sister/aunt who was double fisting:)

A dad mesmerized by his baby boy!

Some car-bombs with my roomies (once Mason was in bed)!

A young couple in love...

And Nick getting his butt kicked by his girlfriend Ang....man we love her.

Thanks for hanging out with us guys, I thought I had taken more pictures but I guess all the Irish drink made me forget.

A day in the life of Mason

Matt dressed Mason, a least he didn't take him in public. Hint Hint...the onesie goes under the pants.

Sledding on snowy Friday afternoon...our lil' marshmallow.

Self family portrait

Mason was tired after the long event so Matt pulled him all the way home from the park while he caught snowflakes on his tongue.

He was rested when we got home so he made some phone calls.

Did some abs with Aunt A's assistance.

Then they stretched.

Wow what a day....

Yes we change outfits that many times some days...it depends on the amount of food that makes it in his mouth.

Just a silly video of our 15 month old.....
